OT ... (more or less) Troy Indy Special at auction
Check out this listing. A really neat looking custom, Indy roadster looking car. Current bidding when I posted this was $90K. Kinda looks like one of the old Pat Clancy Bardahl roadsters, doesn't it.

Re: Parnelli Jones dead at age 90 years
Thanks, Jim. Old PJ was something else, just a helluva driver. I can imagine he intimidated a LOT of other drivers. It was just fun to watch him...talk about competitive! Bill Barker Fort Leavenworth,

Re: Parnelli Jones dead at age 90 years

Here is last week's edition of "My Ride" by A.J. Baime. It was published in the weekend WSJ the day before the 500. It is an enjoyable narration on Tom Malloy, his collection and his Penske PC9B, the

Re: F1 racing compared to Indy 500
Hi, While I agree with the general thrust of argument, that comparison is cherry picking, and you could pick any Monaco GP from the past 20 years or more and see something similar. Monaco is an

Re: F1 racing compared to Indy 500
Great thoughts, and good graphics, Gene. Although, I'd contend that it would be better to compare two road courses without weather and more realistic pit stops. A constricted street course vs. a wide

F1 racing compared to Indy 500
Fellow Rhers, This year we saw another great 500 at Indy. While we all know that the technology of F1 is the best, that does not mean it's good racing. Here is a graph that tells the difference in

Re: Does anyone know of a 2024 Indy 500 rebroadcast
Thank you Don and Tony, Either my incompetence or YouTube TV's quaint programming display/scheme defeats me. At times, the NTT IndyCar series is absent from their menu selection, and though I've
